Previously, we talked about how many gay men have grappled with the fear of rejection, which can result in struggling with intimacy, attachment, and emotional availability. This can often be interconnected with trust issues, as past experiences of feeling abandoned or rejected can lead to difficulties in fully trusting others in future relationships.

In this episode, we’re taking a look at what trust issues are, their profound impact on gay men, and how we can foster authentic connections and rebuild trust in both ourselves and others.
